CHARLES W. GROO'I, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.

FOLDING GASOLENE-STOVE WITH UTENSILS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 28, 1920.

Application filed November 19, 1919. Serial No. 339,224.

T 0 all 107mm it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES WV. GRoor, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Gasolene-Stoves with Utensils; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to folding stoves,

and especially to folding stoves provided with hydrocarbon burners.

An object of this invention is to provide a collapsible gasolene stove which may be conveniently carried about in camp and stowed away in small places such as in automobiles, and in which the cooking utensils usually found necessary with such stoves may also be carried, and to provide an improved and simplified construction for such purposes and one which may be stored away in a minmum amount of space, and will be easily knocked down and collapsed and assembled and also easily disassembled.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, the combination, the detail and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a vertical section stove set up ready foruse.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section partly in elevation through this stove collapsed ready for carrying.

Fig. 3 is a of this stove.

Fig. 4 is a perspective of the bottom pan shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a perspective of the; base member carrying the burners.

Fig. 6 is a perspective of this stove collapsed and ready for carrying.

Referring more particularly to the details of the drawings inv which like numerals indicate corresponding parts throughout the several figures, there is provided a top member commonly called a wind guard 2, pro vided with a foraminous top 3, in the nature through this perspective of the top section Fig.

of a hollow box. Pivotally mounted in the interior of this box are provided legs 4, 4, 4 and 4', shown in Fig. l in the full line position as supporting this box above a base member, and in the dotted line position leg 4 is shown in the position it is when the stove is collapsed. There is also provided a base member 5 in shape similar to the box 2, but of slightly lesser dimensions sufficient to allow the box 2 to telescope freely over the base member 5. The base member 5 is also provided with a container 6 in the top thereof for carrying gasolene or other desired hydrocarbon fuel. Tapping into the container 6 are a pair of conduits 7 and 7 leading respectively to valves (shown better in Fig. 5) 8 and 8, and from thence leading through conduits 9 and 9 to burners l0 and 10'. These burners and conduits are pivotally mounted at the valves. so that they may be collapsed into the position shown in 2. There is also provided opening into the container 6 a conduit from a bulb 11 for creating a pressure in said container. As shown in Fig. 1, when the stove is in a position set up for use, the legs 4 are mounted above the base 5 at 12 and are made from an angle iron, which is provided with a lug to form a shoulder in seating upon the said base member. There are also provided cooking utensils as a frying pan 14, pots and kettles 15, and cups 16, which are adapted to fit within the base member. There is also provided a pan 17.

In collapsing this stove for carrying, the pan 17 forms the base portion thereof and there is provided also a cover 18, which telescopes within the flange of the pan 17. The cover 18 fits over and around the top 2. The legs 4 are swung into the dotted line position shown in Fig. 1, and the burners are swung upon their pivots to the position shown in Fig.2, thus permitting the top portion to telescope over the base portion 5, thus permitting the casing'18 to telescope over the top portion 2 and into the pan 17, the casing 18 being provided with a handle 19, so that the whole stove is then collapsed and incased, ready for carrying.

What I claim is:

A cooking kit comprising in combination a case, a collapsible stove adapted to be inand provided With legs pivoted Within and near the top, the smaller of said parts having a fuel container formed with its top and a plurality of burners pivotally connected to said fuel container on its top, said part being adapted to form WltllSiLlCl case a container for cooking utensils and dishes and said folding legs and folding burners contained between said telesooped parts, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature.

CHARLES W. GROOT.
